Octopi Setup

  • Download copy of octopi image from https://octoprint.org/download/
  • Copy image to SD card (using Etcher or similar)
  • Mount image to your computer,
  • Edit octopi-network.txt to setup wifi. Uncomment and modify the following:
iface wlan0-octopi inet manual
wpa-ssid "put SSID here"
wpa-psk "put password here"
  • Edit octopi.txt to setup camera (V1 raspi camera). Uncomment and modify the following lines:
camera="auto"
camera_raspi_options="-x 1296 -y 972 -fps 10 -quality 95"
  • Unmount from computer, move SD card to PI and startup PI.
  • Start PI system.
  • From computer, ssh into PI using ssh pi@octopi.local. When prompted for a password use the default raspberry.
  • Update the default password using passwd.
  • Now run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install binutils rpi-update
sudo rpi-update
  • Restart PI system
  • Access octoprint from web browser at http:octopi.local
  • After initial setup, install the following plugins:
Print Stats
Print History
Octoslack
Navbar Temp
FileManager
  • Restart after installs

The Cura version that comes with the printer has GCode flavor set to RepRap, Without looking, I selected RepRap in the new Cura, but realized how it was named in the old version. How is Marlin working for you? I think I should be picking that one for my MP Plus.
